decision within three weeks after the completion
of their files of supporting credentials.
To complete the application file, the candidate
must have the following sent to Dexter
Hanley College:
1. A completed application form accompanied
by the $20.00 application fee;
2. An official high school transcript (and
Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED),
including scores, when applicable).
3. Personal statement detailing how
enrolling at the University will contribute
to the individual’s goals.
4. Official transcripts, mailed directly from
every college or university attended (if
applicable) no later than three weeks
before the beginning of classes in the
semester the student wishes to enroll.
Applicants with a minimum of 15 earned
credits from an accredited college or university
do not need to submit high school transcripts
or GED scores.
Applicants are encouraged to meet with an
admissions counselor prior to registration and
can make an appointment by contacting the
Office of Admissions at (570) 941-5813.
In general, advanced standing will be
granted for previously completed courses
when they are equivalent or comparable to
courses at the University, the student received
grades of C or higher, and the courses meet
requirements for the degree program. If the
student changes major at a later date, another
review of transfer credits will be made at that
time, and the student will be given a written
evaluation clearly indicating the transfer credits
that apply to the new major. In all cases,
for a bachelor’s degree, transfer students must
earn a minimum of 63 credits at the University
of Scranton. Once a transfer student
matriculates, the University policy on course
transfers applies.

official transcripts have not been received in

been received within five weeks after classes
have begun will not be permitted to register
